"Sweety" was getting a little more exercise this evening  visited only four different persons. She started the evening with “Saweet Johnny” Hensley in his game three. But he didn't even get to touch her as Susan “Little Red” Hall claimed her almost immediately. “Bad Betty ” Morehouse rejoined our group tonite and claimed Sweety in her game six but not for long as Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest laid claim to her in her game five. Along came Susan “Little Red” Hall and snatched her back is her game seven. But it was not to last as Carl "The Wizard" Schaefer took her in his game nine and thought he would keep her but in the end "Saweet Johnny" Hensley retook her in his game eight and managed to keep her for the rest of the evening to collect the $16.00 for the last 24 Hand Pot.
